Do you love your romance with a little paranormal vibe? Check out this fabulous collection of over 20 amazing writers who have come together to write a steamy hot collection of all kinds of things that go bump in the night And I do mean hot! Stories full of all kinds of sexy creatures! It has a little of everything from vampires,witches,fae, wizards,Phoenix,demons,hunters, werewolves,shifters, and even nephilim! Theirs all kinds of tropes and a little of something for everyone including mafia themed tales in this awesome anthology. I really loved them all but their was some that really stood out for me like Scarlett West Alpha Ritual with hot as fuck alpha werewolf Kaden who kidnaps the half wolf Aila to sacrifice her on the full moon so that the curse her pack put on his people will break and his people will stop dying. But what Kaden didn't count on was Aila is his fated mate! Scarlett turn up the heat on this one!!! I also loved Salem Rising by Serenity Rayne and Most Unholy Pumpkin Spice by Cara Wylde and Huntress by Bethany Shaw and Dark Reign a mafia themed story by Piper Stone which was very steamy!! And Dark Angels by Solo Storm. I haven't been a big fan of the anthologies in the past but lately I've found some really awesome new writers that maybe I would have overlooked because of not knowing about their books. So check this out and maybe you too will find a new author and be hooked like I was. A great read just in time for Halloween! And now only 99 cents!!!! Until next time Luv's💕💋

absolutely drawn in to this collection of stories … “Rituals & Runes” was so fabulous and recommend you pick it up!

This analogy is amazing. It has so much in it. Normally I am not sure about anthologies. This anthology has some stories that end, a few that could continue, and some that will lead to another story. However, a large amount of the stories are complete, a big selling point for me. This anthology will take you a very long time to read. I am only halfway though and I have been reading for a while. I enjoyed every story so far. They are all different, each one makes you want to keep reading to see how the plot unfolds.

I personally enjoyed Salem Rising, specifically the characters and the learning about your roots. Another fun story was Unholy pumpkin Spice. This one was very steamy, but fun. I liked the recipe part of it. So many other amazing stories with werewolves, phoenixes, and more. This anthology is a great way to find new authors, and read about a bit of everything. I highly recommend you get this anthology you are sure to find multiple stories/authors you will love. I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Another excellent anthology from Shifters Unleashed featuring witches. I enjoyed all the stories to varying degrees but a few standouts were The Mark by A.L. Kessler, Most Unholy Pumpkin Spice by Cara Wylde, The Fire Within by Mia Bishop and Air Witch by C.D. Gorri.

Brilliant anthology. Enjoyed reading this.
Review for Serenity Rayne - Salam Rising:
Sage was left on the church door as a child, She has lived her life not knowing where she came from, but she knows who she is. And when she finally starts working for Wilamina she knows there is more to her than she thinks.

[Bookworm Betty · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you love all things paranormal then you will love this wonderful collection of stories. 30 books of differing lengths. All manner of Paranormal and Mythical Creatures are in this book. Varying stories of mayhem, mischief, love, romance and adventure, some of it dangerous to our heroes and heroines. Absolutely brilliant reading and at a fantastic price too. Loved it - so much so I will be continuing to read the next in series of those books that have them.

This is an awesome anthology with so many pages to lose yourself in ;D There's romance, intrigue, and suspense in these stories and you'll get fully sucked into fab reading adventures. Lots of fav authors for me in here, like Cara Wylde and CD Gorri, but there are also tons of new-to-me authors in here and I can't say enough about how fun it was diving into these stories. Expect some to just be prequels or short stories, but others are part of a series. There so much to enjoy in this collection of well written stories. Well done!

Awesome

I bought this anthology to read A. L. Kessler's story. it was awesome! I don't know how she did it, but there was so much packed into that one story I felt like I was reading a whole book! I plan to go and read more stories, at my leisure. I have high hopes to find some new to me authors to stalk.

I love anthologies and this one was a blast to read. It had all my favorite characters from shifters to demons. There was a bit of everything for everyone to enjoy. There was a lot of danger, action, hilarious scenes and hot guys. Trouble was everywhere and the situations were a blast. From serious trouble to hilarious problems I enjoyed them all. And had to see how each one would end. Good authors I had read before and some new ones to discover.

In a bit of a reading slump? Not sure what to pick up next? Try this PRN anthology! Over two dozen stories to read and the best part?! They are completely finished. No here’s a few chapters to tease you along! This book has it all- shifters, and dragons, witches and warlocks, angels and demons. I’m sure glad I read it! So many great authors came together for this book!.

This is such a great anthology! I love the theme and there were a lot of new authors for me to explore. This is a very long collection, so I'm still in the process of reading through it- and quite happily. My favorite story is Cara Wylde's "Most Unholy Pumpkin Spice." I am completely obsessed with this series and loved the one included here. 5 stars

[Kathryn · Rating 5 out of 5]

There is so much variety in this collection of paranormal romances. This is a fantastic mix of authors and stories. I found many engaging reads. There is suspense, magic and heat. Cara Wylde and Serenity Rayne's submissions in this anthology were among my favorites. I highly respect picking up a copy of this anthology.

[Felicia's Review · Rating 5 out of 5]

Salem Rising By Serenity Rayne- This is the beginning of a new series. Salem Rising is all about Sage and her Journey. In this this little novella we see what happened to Sage. This book gave us a lot of information but at the same time left us with more question. I can't wait for the full book to and go on Sage's Journey through Salem.

[Barb · Rating 5 out of 5]

My favorite story was Slayer versus Player by Andie M Long.

It was a really cool concept for a book, made me want to read more about the characters. I felt it ended too quickly, but I do understand it was part of an anthology.

[Sherry Fundin · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm at 40% in this limited edition anthology. It is no longer available, but I am excited about meeting new authors and spending time with some familiar ones.

Vampires, witches, and magical creatures of all kinds abound.

[Kathryn · Rating 4 out of 5]

This chunky anthology was perfect for this month of vampires, witches, shifters, and magical elements. There are SO many stories! Thirty-two to be exact. I have conquered all the stories, and as expected I added several new authors to my TBR list. I will list my favorites below, although they were all remarkably interesting and entertaining to read.

Beasts of Magic by Scarlett West - Haunted house, family grimoire, brooding shifters and one woman at the center of it all.
The Fire Within by Cara Wylde - He is endangered. She is dangerous. And if that’s not bad enough there are also the little creatures fast asleep in the freezer.
Rune Bound by Mia Bishop - The runes bind her. But love will set her free.
Magic of the Fae by Rebekah R. Ganiere - It wasn't meant for humans…
The Devil’s Daughter by C. A. King Ghost Hunters had it wrong.
Jasmine – A Fractured Fairy Tale by J.E. Taylor - There are three rules all genies must obey: No killing. No raising the dead. And above all else, never fall in love.
Crown of Crows by Melissa MacKinnon - She who makes the rules can break the rules.
Beauty and the Tiger by Terri A. Wilson - In the end, the winner takes all…

This is a great Magical Paranormal Romance Collection. I enjoyed reading each story.
Some authors I have read before and some new ones that I have now added to my collection, to read more from. The characters and storylines are great. I loved it!

A Great Collection of Paranormal and Fantatasy

All the stories in the collection are fun to read and so entertaining that I didn't want to put the book down until I'd read them all!

The authors in this anthology have each done a great job with their contribution. They made it impossible to pick a favorite, but I think that you will enjoy attempting to pick your favorite.

Rituals and Runes is a collection of paranormal stories about witches, shifters, demons, vampires, and other supernatural creatures. I loved all of the stories in this collection but here are a few of my favorites: Slayer Versus Player by Andie M. Long, Rune Bound by Patricia D. Eddy, and Most Unholy Pumpkin Spice by Cara Wylde. I love reading collections because I get to read some of my favorite authors and find some new to me authors at the same time. I look forward to reading more books by these authors in the future.

what a collection I follow a few of these authors (C.D. Gorri, Gina Kincade, J. C. McKenzie, Silvana G. Sánchez) already and have found a few new author I look forward to read more of their work. It is a collection worth checking out.

[Rowan Creech · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a unique collection of stories that are delightful for this time of year. I really enjoyed the book and the carhops authors who worked to bring it to life.

[Kkhmonrai · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this anthology! So many stories and authors. Many of the authors were new to me, and I really enjoyed these samples of their writing. This is a big book, more than 2,500 pages and 30 different authors. I loved the variety of stories and characters...witches, vampires, shifters, demons, and more. As with any anthology, I loved some stories more than others, but I haven't found a dud in the lot. With the variety, I am sure any lover of paranormal romance and UF will find plenty to love, especially at the current price ($0.99). Don't miss out!.

This is a box set of thirty two stories written by some unique authors. There's witches, demons, devils, wizards, vampires, shifters and other mythical creatures. Oh my!
Air Witch by CD Gorri is a story about overcoming those expectations that are needed to be lost.
Well worth reading!

A delightful collection of paranormal stories. I love the variety of tales included in this collection.. and have discovered some new authors to pursue more written works from.

[Leah · Rating 4 out of 5]

I like this collection. Some of the books felt a little less polished. But overall the stories had interesting plots and characters. A few were just intros into the world, but only couple felt truly incomplete. Even they were interesting enough that I wanted to read more so they worked.

I think that there is another collection in this set soon. I am really looking forward to more.
